Fadi Atieh

Fadi is an international undergraduate at MIT from Syria, Class of 2020. He is planning to major in Mathematics with Computer Science (18c) and minor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences (9). The main reason behind his interest in the brain is because of the huge future potentials of unraveling its secrets since our current knowledge about its workings is still rather primitive. He hopes to apply his background in computation and the brain to enhance education. His experience in Syria showed him that education is one of the most important, if not the most important, factors in determining a country's future.
